Last week was a bad week for our gamblers ... not named Mark or Bryce. Only our site's oldest and youngest gamblers managed to make any money, each pulling down +$100. When the next highest total is breaking even, it's probably best to imagine that week never happened and that you didn't fall from second place into 6th (Brad).
